Senators submitted questions in writing to the House impeachment managers and Trump’s counsel on Wednesday.
Impeachment manager Adam Schiff has TWO aides, Sean Misko and Abigail Grace who worked with the whistleblower Eric Ciaramella at the National Security Council and Republican Senators asked about their role in plotting to remove Trump.
GOP Senators Mike Lee (UT), Ted Cruz (TX) and Josh Hawley (MO) asked about the whistleblower’s employment and his relationship with Schiff’s top aide Sean Misko.
Chief Justice Roberts read a submitted question to the counsel to the president regarding Paul Sperry’s bombshell report revealing Eric Ciaramella and his former NatSec crony-turned Schiff aide Sean Misko were plotting to remove Trump in early 2017.
“Is it true that Sean Misko and Abigail Grace and the alleged whistleblower were detailed by or employed by the National Security Council during the same time period between January 20, 2017 and the present? Do you have reason to believe that they knew each other?” Roberts said.
Do you have any reason to believe that the alleged whistleblower and Misko coordinated to fulfill their reported commitment to “do everything we can to take out the president.”” Roberts added.
President Trump’s deputy counsel Patrick Philbin said the only knowledge the defense team has about the whistleblower, his employment and relationship with Schiff’s staffer Sean Misko was from a “public report” which we know to be Paul Sperry’s bombshell Real Clear Investigations piece he published last week.
Shortly after Donald Trump was sworn into office in early 2017, Eric Ciaramella, the CIA plant-turned-whistleblower who prompted the impeachment of Trump, was overheard in the White House discussing with a fellow staffer how to remove the newly-elected president from office, according to investigative reporter Paul Sperry.
Both were Obama holdovers from NatSec and both hatched a plot to “take out” President Trump.
Ciaramella and Misko had another co-conspirator named Abby Grace, a woman who worked at the NSC then got recruited by Schiff to work as an impeachment investigator.
Sean Misko
Mr. Philbin said learning more about the whistleblower would be “relevant.”

Paul Sperry said both Sean Misko and Eric Ciaramella should be subpoenaed to testify.
If this Senate trial is going to be opened up to witnesses, Sean Misko ought to be subpoenaed to testify along with Eric Ciaramella
